No. They are bliss.
What GANA doesn’t know would fill volumes. They are simply looking for a scapegoat in the wcing industry.
Can steel wool cause scratches if there is no construction debris? I only deal with paint overspray and windows that are very dirty and need wooling. I guess what I am asking is, can steel wool really dislodge fabricating debris?
Yes it can, there is less of a chance than a blade… But it can happen.
So… A blade will definitely scratch the window, steel wool might scratch the window, and chemicals could damage the seals. White scrub pads are less aggressive than steel wool, which means they are ineffective, but they’re safe, right?
Yes Mike they would be “safe” to the window. It would probably take alot of scrubbing however to remove things like paint and silicone. So it might not be "safe for your arm.
So…. GANA wants us to use safe alternative methods not razors and scrapers. But…. So far nobody has mentioned any alternative methods that are safe. I guess that’s because there aren’t any, right?
Not really Mike. GANA wants to keep telling lies like FD is inherent in tempered/heat strengthened glass. They can’t or won’t explain how some manufacturers are putting out those kinds of glass w/out debris. It’s a shell game Mike. Or like in the Wizard of Oz - pay no attention to the man behind the curtain - it’s all smoke and mirrors. Their arguments have no merit. Maybe that’s why Dan Fields has never lost a court case where a waiver was in place.
Residential properties normally used tempered glass in designated “Safety Glass” areas such as in and around entrance doors from exterrior, windows adjacent to entrance doors from exterrior, pools, shower doors and bathroom windows. You can find out what is required in your specific area by visiting you’re local building codes website and or the Internal Building Code. If near or at water front there could be hurricane codes.
Generally speaking if there is temepred glass in a home it is easliy denoted by a logo indicating the fabricator and the words “safety” or Tempered" glass permanently attached to the glass.

[FONT=Verdana]I like what you’re saying but there are some posts early in this thread that contradict what you’re saying. Did you have a chance to read them? If it truly is just a hand full of pieces in the places you described in your post I could have a policy in place on when and where I go with my blade and when I go alternative. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Please advice.

Each regions building code requires safety glass in the areas Cliff posted about. That doesn’t mean tempered - it means safety glass which can be heat treated (depending on the building code) which generally has no stamp but can also have FD on it. If temperers can’t get their act together I’d love to see contractors go w/ laminated safety glass. No heat treating involved so no chance of FD!
